Alice Neel: I Am the Century accompanies the first major retrospective in Italy dedicated to the American artist Alice Neel (1900–1984), presented by Pinacoteca Agnelli in Turin. Conceived as both a critical and narrative journey, the publication expands on the exhibition through essays, archival materials, and reproductions of sixty works. Contributions by curators, scholars, and artists - including Kelly Richman-Abdou, Jennifer Higgie, Mira Schor, and Annie Sprinkle - offer multiple perspectives on Neel’s radical approach to portraiture. Blending realism with empathy and psychological intensity, Neel chronicled intimacy, community, and political life with unflinching clarity. The book positions her as both artist and witness, underscoring her lasting influence on contemporary art.
